| Let p represent the number of bags of plums and k represent the number of bags of kiwis.
The plums are sold in bags which cost $2 each. So, price of all the bags of plums is given by
So, 2p
The kiwis are sold in bags which cost $5 each. So, price of all the bags of kiwis is given by
So, 5k
Together, they amount up to:
2p + 5k = 2516
Now, there are 7 times the number of bags of kiwis more than the number of bags of plums.
So, we have:
K = 6p
Use simultaneous equations to solve for k and p.
Since you have the number of bags and you know how many fruits there are in each bag, can you work out the total number of fruits sold? |
